SEAL BEACH, Calif. - Redshirt freshman Julia Myklebust finished in tie for 42nd to pace the CSUN Women's Golf team Tuesday as the Matadors completed play at The Gold Rush hosted by Long Beach State at Old Ranch Country Club.

The Matadors carded a final round 327, slightly better than their second round 328, but remained 12th as a team at 978. USC (863) led from start to finish in the 12-team field, finishing 36 shots ahead of second place UCLA (899). Hawai'i (903), Pepperdine (914) and Fresno State (914) rounded out the top-five teams. The Trojans also had the individual winner as Amari Avery won by six shots at five-under 211.

Myklebust was CSUN's low player the entire tournament as she followed up rounds of 79-78 on Monday with a final round 80 to finish at (+21) 237. She was eight-over after her opening eight holes before a string of four birdies over her next seven holes dropped her to five-over for the round. Myklebust would finish with a bogey, a par and a double-bogey to complete her round at eight-over.
